For the asking

I have a pair of standard pillow cases, roughly 30 years old, stamped with a cabbage rose design to be cross-stitch embroidered. The quality of the cotton is not great -- it is pretty coarse (ah, label says 50%/50% with poly, so that's why) -- and the cases are still stiff with sizing and a bit dusty. I am offering the pair to whomever puts the first comment on this post (and do be sure to let me know how to get in touch with you so I can send them along). I am thinking these would be good for a child who is interested in embroidering, mostly because when she bought this pair for herself, my mom also bought me a pair (different design) which I worked on while at summer camp way back when:

I just know that I'm not going to do the second pair, and would like to send it along to someone who will (child or child-at-heart!?).

Don't *pin* my content

Check out this book with my work in it!

The story

My son, then about 4 years old, was being his wild self right at bedtime. I said, "no more monkey business!" in my best stern-mom voice, and he looked me gleefully in the eye and declared, "infinity more monkeys!"
